| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central design features the city gateway (castello) of Genoa, shown as a fortified arch with towers, rendered within a fine linear inner circle and a thick beaded outer circle. The gateway is the traditional civic emblem of the Republic of Genoa. The surrounding legend, in uncial Latin, reads ✠ CIVITAS : IANVE : R ., with the mint official's sigil appearing at the conclusion of the inscription. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The sesino emerged as Genoa's response to a chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage in the early fourteenth century, when the republic's explosive commercial growth had outpaced the supply of fractional silver in local circulation. Billon — debased silver alloyed heavily with copper — was the pragmatic solution, allowing the mint to stretch limited bullion across a higher volume of struck pieces.
The MEC XII references place surviving specimens across a notably wide die range, suggesting sustained production across the full three-decade window rather than concentrated campaigns.
